I have started using zwift after coming to the realization that I’m not going to go out riding much in the dark. I have gotten a new job since last winter and the commute is quite long which means that I’m home late and going out riding alone late at night is not really motivating …

I see a lot of riders in my local area riding with these. So I decided to see what is was all the fuzz is about. I bought a Blackspire Snaggletooth Narrow-Wide Oval Chainring (That’s a mouthful!). It was one of the cheaper options available but it seems to be working fine after 2 months of …

Knee warmers – It’s a hard piece of cycling gear to love. If the size is wrong you’ll find yourself looking like you’ve stolen the legs warmers from a 90’s teenage girl and now have very warm ankles and very cold knees. Find a pair that fits and it’ll extend your summer cycling wardrobe a …

I love Audio books, both cycling related and otherwise. I spend a fair amount of time on public transport and audio books are great for that. I also like listening to audio books while riding my bike. Now I don’t want to have a debate about whether or not that is safe. You can decide …

Every new bike needs a bit of tweaking, that’s what I find. Here are the changes I have made to my Giant Fathom in the first month of owning it.

  After some radio-silence on this blog, I’m back on the bike. I’ve rekindled my love for mountainbiking and have bought a new mountainbike instead of investing in getting the old orbea up to scratch. It’s still a lovely bike and I still use it a lot. But on to the new bike: A Giant Fathom 1 27.5 2017. I have …

I have been looking for bikepacking bags for some upcoming adventures and I ended up with quite a big list of bag manufacturers. This might be useful to others so I made a spreadsheet and noted which types of bags each manufacturer makes, you are able to sort them below if you are looking for …

The Wahoo puck-style mounts uses zipties rather than elastic bands, which is quite annoying when you want to move it from bike to bike or only use it sometimes. The Garmin edge pucks does use elastic bands. But we do not live in a world of standardized mount interfaces. The “wings” on the wahoo is …
